Rashid Khan once again makes the breakthrough for SRH. Ashwin looks to play a shot over cover but sees the ball carry to his opposite number at the edge of the 30 yard circle. Williamson who was caught by Ashwin earlier in the game returns the favour but safely taking the catch.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the new man in and he ends the over with two back to back fours both using the reverse sweep. KXIP now need 23 runs from 12 balls to win.
KXIP 110/9 after 18 overs
WICKET! Ashwin c Williamson b Rashid Khan 4 (6)
Kaul to bowl this over. He starts well conceding just 2 runs in the first 4 deliveries. The pressure finally gets to the batsmen as Sran gets a bottom edge to the 5th delivery and sets off blindly for a single. Ashwin rightly sends him back but Saha runs to the ball, takes aim and topples the stumps to send him back to the dugout.
DROPPED! Wow what an over it would have been if Nabi would’ve held on to that one at long-on. Rajpoot goes for a big one but Nabi lets it pop out of his hands.
KXIP 100/8 after 17 overs
WICKET! Sran run out (Saha) 2 (5)
Sandeep Sharma is brought in to bowl his last over and it turns out to be a good decision from Williamson as Sharma gets the wicket of Tiwary. Tiwary reaches out for a flick shot but Sharma sends the slower ball in which just loops off the bat and lands safely in Williamson’s hand at short midwicket.
Tye is the new man in and sends the first ball high up the ground. Shakib tries to reach it but falls short as the ball trickles towards the boundary line for a four.
Sharma then traps Tye with a knuckle ball that hits him on the front. Tye reviews the decision but replays show there is no bat and HawkEye suggests the ball would clip the leg stump making it the Umpires call. Tye has to depart. What an over this has been for SRH.
KXIP 97/7 after 16 overs
WICKET! Tye lbw b Sandeep Sharma 4 (2)
WICKET! Tiwary c Williamson b Sandeep Sharma 1 (5)
Shakib to bowl his 3rd and once again provides the breakthrough for SRH. Finch hits him for a SIX over long-on on the very first delivery and looks to repeat the feat off the 2nd one as well but even though he connects well he isn’t able to clear the ropes as Pandey takes a beautiful catch with less than an inch of space between his legs and the line.
KXIP 91/5 after 15 overs
WICKET! Finch c Pandey b Shakib 8 (4)
Rashid Khan is giving the KXIP men all sorts of problems here and he once again makes the breakthrough getting the wicket of Nair on his 4th delivery. He sends down a googly this time which Nair completely fails to read and is caught LBW. There is another big appeal for LBW on the next delivery this time on Tiwary but the umpire says not out. Rashid wants a review but Saha says it’s too high. Good over that by Rashid though. KXIP require 51 from 36 balls to win.
KXIP 82/4 after 14 overs
WICKET! Nair lbw b Rashid 13 (17)
Shakib comes back to bowl and Agarwal looks to clear the boundary on the very first delivery, he doesn’t get enough on it though and only finds Pandey at long on. Unnecessary shot attempted by Agarwal sees him walk back to the dugout. Shakib gives away just 3 runs in the over.
KXIP 80/3 after 13 overs
WICKET! Agarwal c Pandey b Shakib 12 (15)
Rashid Khan to bowl his 2nd over. The batsmen are wary of him as they only look to pick up the singles. KXIP get 4 runs off the over. They now need 56 runs from 48 balls to win.
KXIP 77/2 after 12 overs
Kaul to bowl his 2nd of the evening. Agarwal gets a top edge on the pull shot off the 5th delivery, lucky for him the ball evades the bowler’s reach and lands safely in the mid-on region. Good over by Kaul giving away just 6 runs in it.
KXIP 73/2 after 11 overs
Shakib Al Hasan comes into the attack. Agarwal and Nair are the two batsmen at the crease and they pick up just 6 runs in that over. KXIP now need 66 runs from 60 balls to win.
KXIP 67/2 after 10 overs
Thampi back for his 2nd and he makes a big breakthrough for Hyderabad. Sends a back of length delivery which Gayle looks to pull but gets a top edge which lobs the ball towards the short leg region. Thampi himself runs to it and takes a comfortable catch to dismiss the big Jamaican. Another good over for SRH with 5 runs and a wicket coming off it.
KXIP 61/2 after 9 overs
WICKET! Gayle c & b Thampi 23 (22)
Rashid Khan is brought into the attack now. He starts well finding some good turn on the wicket and makes the breakthrough on the 5th delivery. Rahul covers his stumps as Rashid pitches it outside off but the ball finds a way past the outside edge to go clattering into the stumps. What a ball that was from Rashid. He ends the over giving away just 3 runs and getting a wicket in it.
KXIP 56/1 after 8 overs
WICKET! KL Rahul b Rashid 32 (26)
Basil Thampi comes into the attack. Gayle clears his front foot and swings hard at the 3rd delivery, sending it high up into the second tier for a SIX over long-on. Punjab also bring up the 50 run partnership in the over.
KXIP 53/0 after 7 overs
Kaul comes into the attack. Rahul walks down the track on the 2nd delivery then smacks the shorter delivery past mid-on for a four. He is playing some amazing shots tonight. Gayle then picks the 5th delivery, a full toss outside off stump and sends it between short third man and point for a four. 9 runs come off that over as Punjab end the powerplay with 44 runs without the loss of any wickets.
KXIP 44/0 after 6 overs
Sandeep back for his 3rd over and this time Rahul plays a brilliant cover drive for a boundary off the 3rd delivery. Sandeep comeback well with a dot ball on the next delivery. Just 5 runs from that over. KXIP need 98 runs from 90 balls to win.
KXIP 35/0 after 5 overs
Nabi to bowl his 2nd. Rahul goes after the bowler on the 3rd delivery, waits back and then pulls it on his back foot over deep midwicket for a SIX. Nabi pitches the next one outside off and Rahul cuts it square this time for a four past point. He isn’t done yet as he walks over to the off side and sweeps over short fine leg for another four. 1 Six and 2 fours off the last 3 balls. Great over for Punjab.
KXIP 30/0 after 4 overs
Sandeep continues his spell. Starts with 2 dot deliveries to Rahul. The KXIP batsmen are only able to pick up singles on the next 4 deliveries as they get 4 runs off that over. Good tight bowling from Sharma here.
KXIP 14/0 after 3 overs
